I hope Hillary Swank wins

[AlCzervik]

I thought she was excellent in Boys don't Cry and A price above Rubies, i think she's one of the best actresses out there.

1. I love her, but I kinda hope she doesn't

She's won already. I always like it better when a newbie wins-unless I hate their guts, of course. ;-)

2. Why on Earth wasn't Uma Thurman nominated

for Kill Bill vol. 2? I think that's one of the best performances I've ever seen.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

8. I was hoping David Carradine would get a nod

for Best Supporting for the same film.

I thought he was quite excellent in Vol. 2.

3. I thought "Million Dollar Baby" was outstanding,...

...but this year the Academy Award process is irritating me because of that whole "rematch" thing the press is whipping up with her and Annette Benning. I try to ignore that "Best in Show" mentality and just try to enjoy the process but it's going to be difficult this because of that.

5. wallow in it, please do

It's all so trivial, so why not. I hope Annette or Kate Winslett wins. They are both way overdue. Hilary won already-and on her first nomination to boot.

4. Perhaps she'll thank her husband this time.

:D

[Lavender Brown]

6. She thanked him the next year, when she was a presenter.

Poor, poor Chad Lowe.

7. I hope Imelda Staunton wins-"Vera Drake" was great and she

is superb.A low key,quiet performance that just pulls you in.

9. tell you the truth

she deserves it most, IMHO. But don't hold your breath waiting for the Academy to reward someone playing an abortionist. Silly, I know, but so are the Oscars. First nomination doesn't help either.

10. She is also not part of the Hollywood elite!!!!!!

I would hope they would look at her performance and not the subject matter,but these days,who knows?

11. Michael Caine for Cedar House Rules, he was an abortionist...

Imelda ain't winning because Hilary is. :puke:

Or, Kate!

12. she was great in Million $ Baby n/t
